Discussion and Rave Review Of The Tom Bihn "Synaspe 19" Backpack
https://www.tombihn.com/collections/laptop-bags/products/synapse-19?variant=17391738631

"The Synapse 19 is a carefully calculated, supremely organized backpack, designed for day hiking, everyday carry, and ultralight travel. Its graceful, curvilinear exterior may on first blush look like something akin to sculpture, but in truth it is simply the judicious realization of ultimate utility. No mesh pockets clutter the exterior of this bag, nor extraneous straps festoon it; in it, you'll be able to carry more than you would imagine, and no one will be the wiser."
